Solution
The first step in solving 9.6 problem number 44 trying to solve the problem we have to refer to the textbook question: Each series satisfies the hypotheses of the alternating series test. Approximate the sum of the series to two decimal-place accuracy.\(1-\frac{1}{2 !}+\frac{1}{4 !}-\frac{1}{6 !}+\cdots\)
From the textbook chapter Alternating Series; Absolute and Conditional Convergence you will find a few key concepts needed to solve this.
